PVFT and PVUSD have reached a Settlement and Compromise Agreement regarding the 2012 Layoffs. Under the agreement, no more than 87.28 FTE may be laid off. Originally, the district had noticed 126 certificated employees and in addition, released another 76 temporary/placeholders. The agreement also provides a process for rehiring that we believe will go much smoother than previous years and allow teachers to know if they have a job for next year much sooner than before.
School Improvement Grant negotiations continue with PVUSD. The District has agreed to remove language regarding involuntary transfers and is open to teacher input regarding a new schedule at E.A. Hall. This, of course, opens up the possibility for an agreement that is acceptable to staff at the affected sites.
Over the next months, PVFT and PVUSD will be looking at how the implementation of the Common Core Standards will happen at PVUSD. The first meeting is to take place on Tuesday May 15, 2012, 8:30 am – 3:30 pm at the Santa Cruz County Office of Education (400 Encinal St. “Harvey West” area of Santa Cruz, 95060). California is among 47 states who have adopted the Common Core State Standards (CCSS); they are slated to be fully implemented beginning with school year 2014–2015. We are asking anyone interested in being part of this process to notify your building representative and/or Jack Carroll at

At last week’s Building representative meeting, it was voted to increase representation at the Executive Council by including representatives from Adult Education, Early Child Education, Migrant Education, Charter Schools and Special Education. The proposal is subject to changes in the ByLaws and Constitution according the prescribed process in those documents. In the mean time, representatives from these departments will serve as ex-officio members in the Executive Council through an election process at the May 14 Building Rep meeting. If you are interested or would like more information, please contact Jack Carroll at
